A and B together can complete a work in 3 days. They start together but after 2 days, B left the work. If the work is completed after two more days, B alone could do the work in

  • 15 days
  • 26 days
  • 39 days
  • 410 days
Answer:- 1
Explanation:-

Solution:
1st Method:

(A+B)'s one day's work =
13
part
(A+B) works 2 days together =
23
part
Remaining work =
123
  =
13
part
13
part of work is completed by A in two days
Hence, one day's work of A =
16

Then, one day's work of B =
1316
  =
16

So, B alone can complete the whole work in 6 days.

2nd Method:
(A+B)'s one day's % work =
1003
= 33.3%
Work completed in 2 days = 66.6%
Remaining work = 33.4%
One day's % work of A =
33.42
= 16.7%
One day's work of B = 33.3 - 16.7 = 16.7%
B alone can complete the work in,
=
10016.7
= 6 days.
